Bedre foder resulterer i bedre mad til os alle
Hos BioMar forstår vi, at rejsen til enestående fisk og rejer begynder længe før, den når bordet, og den starter med det foder, der giver næring til fisk og rejer.

Nordic Trout fish farm, Finland
Oy BioMar AB now offers 30 years of experience to our partners in Finland, where fish farming is a strong player for producing delicious, healthy, sustainable local food.
With its thousands of lakes, long rivers and a long coastline Finland offers excellent conditions for fish farming. Here, commercial fish farming started in the late 1950’s. It had its first boom in the 1960’s, when industrial production of rainbow trout gained foothold.
Revolutionising fish feeds
With the introduction of dry feeds, the efficiency of fish farms grew stronger. BioMar was established in 1962, with the aim of producing dry feeds that showed to be revolutionising fish farming, especially in fry production. Finnish authorities granted import licence for BioMar fry feed, and first feed deliveries were made from the BioMar factory in Denmark to trout farmers in Finland.
BioMar’s collaboration with the Finnish fish farming industry has grown stronger ever since.
Establishment of Oy BioMar AB
Over the years, Finnish fish farming became a strictly regulated and supervised activity demanding for environmentally friendly feeds. In 1987, BioMar launched Ecoline, the first fish feed programme in the world with a feed declaration on its environmental impact. This development was noticed by trout farmers in Finland.
In 1993, Finnish authorities granted import licence for BioMar grower feeds and the demand for importing BioMar feeds boomed to another level. In 1994, BioMar established its first warehouse at the port of Turku to economise transportation and to strengthen fast in-land deliveries.
On 25th of January 1995, the Finland-based subsidiary of BioMar in Denmark, Oy BioMar AB, was established.
In 2000, the company expanded its operations considerably by acquiring the fish feed business of Suomen Rehu.
BioMar’s collaboration with the Finnish fish farming industry has grown stronger ever since.
Revolutionising fry feeds
While in the 1960’s BioMar pelletised dry feeds for fry revolutionised fish farming by delivering much cleaner and less polluting farming condition to the young fry, in the early 2000’s, BioMar’s extruded fry feed Bio-Optimal Start again revolutionised fry production by delivering highly condensed and balanced nutritional components.

Today, BioMar’s top fry feed in Finland and many other markets is INICIO Plus, targeting highly robust, resistant and good performing fry through the inclusion of various micro-ingredients such as Bactocell®, which is the only probiotic that is approved by the European Commission for its ability to potentially reduce deformities across fish species, and of B-WYSE™, consisting of multistrain yeast fractions that support the fish against environmental and physical challenges in the farm.

Collaborating for a green conversion of farming trout
The preferred BioMar top grower feed line in the Finnish market is EFICO Enviro 923 Advance. The “923” grower feed was specially developed for sea cage farming in Finland and introduced in 2002, under the name of Ecolife 23 and still to this day it is BioMar’s most selling product for sea cage trout farming in the Baltic Sea.
In 2020, BioMar launched Blue IMPACT™, a feed concept aiming at minimising the environmental impact of aquaculture. First feeds of this range were developed in close cooperation with farming companies in Finland, Estonia and Sweden and targeted challenges faced by cage farming in the Baltic Sea area.
Finnish fish farmers have always been concerned to utilise feeds that combine the best total economic performance and the best environmental and sustainable performance. And BioMar has always constantly further developed our feeds to implement the latest R&D knowledge and to suit market demands and legislations. For BioMar and the ever-energetic team of Oy BioMar AB, being a partner in projects for the development of efficient and sustainable feed solutions is an important step forward in the innovative development of specially designed feed solutions for fish for future generations.

UdforskStay in control of oxygen fluctuations
In fish farming, large fluctuations in the oxygen content of water have a negative impact on the well-being of the fish and consequently on its growth. High water temperatures or rich vegetation in the water are important alarming factors to observe, especially in summer periods.

UdforskWheat Gluten: A reliable protein and binder for fish feed
Wheat gluten is a common ingredient in modern aquaculture diets, valued for a combination of nutritional and functional advantages. It isn’t a magic ingredient, but it consistently supports efficient feed production and healthy fish growth. One of its best-known traits is its strong binding ability earning it the occasional nickname “super glue.” This natural binding property allows many feed mills to reduce or even eliminate synthetic binders.

UdforskThe jet platform – efficient and simple oxygen enrichment
The oxygen content of the water is often the most prominent limiting factor in intensive fish farming. It is a well-known fact that poor oxygen content means that it is not possible to utilise the full potential of both the fish and the feed. A jet platform is an example of an efficient and yet simple mechanical method for oxygen enrichment of water.
